I went to the mall over lunch even though Bmyoungs told me they didn't have any demo units out. I asked if I could have a demo and they said they packed them up since they are so understaffed for the holiday season. I asked about the $750 bundle and they didn't have it in store (their store is tiny). He said just to order it online because it's just as fast as if they would have ordered it. He also told me tomorrow is Microsoft's VR sale so I should wait at least until then just in case a better bundle goes on sale or if they discount it even more. He suggested I take a print screen of the current deal just in case something gets messed up though.

I guess I will order something tomorrow and go from there. I don't want to wait until BBY and then have their deal not be on.

I need to completely wipe my PC in order to play with this because of a drive issue. Good news though, the PC I want is marked down to $400 at the Walmart closet to me. I'm ordering that now and picking up tomorrow.

Since plugging it in the other day my dad (and brother-in-law) have put a lot of hours into VR. I think he's figuring out the Windows vs Steam vs Oculus home/games. Revive us a 3rd party tool that allows Vive/WMR headsets play Oculus games. It works pretty well, but games often get hung up in the loading screen.

The most popular games so far with hours on each are:Space Pirate TrainerGornHordeZGoogle Earth

Looking forward to trying this out more over this weekend. My dad can't get Oculus games working on it but I know I can fix that.

There is a HUGE update coming in April that is adding haptics for Steam games and way better VRAM usage (big deal for my dad's 3gb cars). I wish this update would be live when I was visiting so I could help with that.

Fixed. Got a couple Oculus games working that they never could before. Dead and buried, robo recall, brass tactics. I also got steamvr working better. Still not as seemless as my setup, but I paid 3x for my complete setup vs his.

My dad played his VR for the first time in a long time since he's been busy this summer. He forgot how to do everything so we had to do a video call to get it working. He said after the call everything was Rock solid. I'm impressed with the improvements and updates Windows have been doing with the headset.

He really likes the clip on headphones I got him. I wish there was a mic built in so we could play together tho, but he would rather play single player games anyways.

Figured I can sell my Rift to someone...even though I hate selling things online.
